HOW TO GAIN FLESH AND STRENGTH.

Use after each meal SCOTS Emulsion; it is
as paletable as milk and easily digested.
Delicate people improve rapidly with its use.
For consumption, throat affections and bron-
chitis it is unequaled. DIR. Thomas Prim,
Ala, says: 81 used SCOTS Emulsion on a
child eight months old he gained four
pounds in a month"

PARKERSBURG, w. VA, August o.
Tomorrow begins the four days Fair in
this county, and everything looks prom
ising for n successful week. The
farmers generally have shown n disposition
to make q generous display of their pro-
ducts and live stock; the merchants OF this
city will be well represented. The races
Some fine trOtters and horses OF all kinds
are here. II is thought that there will be
from six To ten in each race. The premiums
offered this year are much more liberal than
any offered heretofore, and the generosity
thus displayed has attracted hOrsemen
from all parts ofthis State, and from see
tons of Ohio. The Fair Association he
long to the National Association, aud the
races will he conducted according to their
rules. A visit to the grounds after work
men have been there for three months,
shows a general improvement. The race
track has been somewhat shortened, but il
in excellent condition. A new grand
stand has been erected alta cost of 81, 800.
All the sheds, stables and buildings of all
kinds have been thoroughly put in shape,
so the general appearance is most pleasing.
There will he no liquors sold on the
grounds at all, and sharpers OF all kinds
will be positively forbidden.
The races begin tomorrow with a trot-
ting race for iour-year Odds and under,
limited to horses of Wood, Writ, Jackson,
Richie and Pleasant Counties, West Vir-
ginia, and Washington County, Ohio. The
purse is $50. On Wednesday there will be

lowing will be a running race for $50.
Most OF the best horses are already here,
and things are lively at the Fair Grounds.

THE editor of the h~teligeaeer tells his
readers in his papers issue Of yesterday
that 1.-THE present editor of the hHteHigcHeer
first saw the light on June 10, 1850"
This information the community has long
desired, but was too bashful to ask for.
The autobiography creates establishment
that one so young should possess such q
largely developed gall" Going into de-
tails, he tells Us he was born on Sunday,
but forgets to mention whether it was in
the light or dark Of the moon. Recently
the impression has been that he WAS born
on Friday. But it was Sunday, and in the
morning.
Passing over his early life, his terrible
trials in teething, and his heroic struggle
for an existence, which he wrested from
the sucking bottle, the a~utobiographer
deals with the war and his part therein.
We quote, and this may be considered his
wal record ,oficiaD:
When the enemies of his country fired
on the starry banner Of the Union, he was
securely Nesting under the parental ROOF.
There is 4 suspicion abroad that the
editor of the hteRigtResr had u deep pur-
pose of his own to serve in wrnng, at this
critical time, his autobiography. This suS-
piciOn vague though it be would seem to
be not without foundation. 1t is that the
young man desires to become a Post Com
mander in the &. A. r., having the neces-
sary eligibility, possessing facts which can
be attested by his nurse that he was I'm
arms" during the war ami lifted mp his
voice night and day in his cOuntry's behalf.
1t would probably not be proper con-
sidering his tender age to term him a
veteran, but there can be no doubt of his
eligibility To membership in any one of the
G. A. Il. posts which refused to walk under
the Presidents banner.

THAT BANNER.

A liar seems never to develop quite hi:
full capacity till he gets on a Republican
newspaper staff. This fact is particularly
noticeable just at present in the various
descriptions Of the REGISTERS hammer hon,
Oring the President of the United States,
which the Republican press give to their
blissfully ignorant readers. Every man,
woman and child in Wheeling is familiar
with this hammer and its purely patriotic
inscription, and it only remains to he said
that our citizens, who are acquainted with
Mr.. TANEY, do not generally require aft
dayits TO attest his t%ruthfulneSs, and in
this case his motive in putting out the BAN
ner was simply 4 patriotic desire to honor
the highest officer of the Union-the Pref
dent of the United States-who seemed to
be ~lamentably forgotten, or OutrageOusly
and indecently ignored. His motive
was no more nor no less. But
aside from motives, which the &. A. K.
knew nothing about, there was nothing
on the banner referring in the remOtest
degree to politics, and consequently there
can be no excuse for the G.. A. RS
act nor can the Republican press by
distOrting that patriotic banner, which
was put up by an eN-UniOn Naval officer,
excuse or palliate in the slightest degree
the gigantic insult offered the American
people and their President.
Now as to what the Republican news
papers say Of the banner:
The LateHigencer Understands that Mr..
TANEY was not solely responsible for it.
1t was q iOint-stOck affair, among the
stockholders being Postmaster SIMPSON,
T. NJ. DARRAH, Louis STEENRoD, and
others"
AS the HlteRigsRcer'S readers have learn
ed from experience, to take with a large
dose of salt what that paper under
stands" further comment is unnecessary.
The Chicago Inter Ocean editorially de-
scribes it a. Just such a banner as the
Democrats will use in the e xtcampaign."
1t may be remarked that if Democrats
do carry such a banner in the next cam
paign it will be because this banner served.
though it vas not so intended, the great
purpose Of unmasking disloyal hearted
men that are false to the uniforms they
wear.
Other Republican papers told their read
ers that the inscription on the hammer was
"GOD bless GROVER CLEVELAND"
Another sheet, which was sufficiently
remote from Wheeling, declared that the
banner was n portrait of President CLEvE-
LAND trimmed about with the stars and
bars"-the Rebel flag.
No partisan Republican sheet, in fact,
told its readers thu truth about the banner.
Is it not passing strange that only
Democratic and Independent Republican
newspapers could get a truthful deserip.

merse it in boiling sugar, remove it instantly,
and you have the candied melon that you
have eaten. They raise the finest water
melons in the South of France to be found
in Europe-although they scarcely equal
the melons we get from Georgla-and any
cook from southern France VIII tell you all
about preparing the fruit. In France they
do not allow the waste of the best part of
the melon, which is the outside. If the
watermelon rinds that are thrown away
during a season in this country could be
gathered, instead of being allowed to go to
waste, and made into preserves, half bhe
people of the United States who are unable
| to enjoy the luxury of preserves during the
winter would have at small cost all they
could eat of the most delicious preserves
| known to the human palate. A little cheap
| sugar, some lemon peel, and limited degree
| of skill i'll preparing the green portion of
| the watermelon is all that is required. Your
| country people go hungry for delicacies that
grow all about you. This is not only true
| with reference to melon preserves, but with
regard to other articles. You wait impa-
tiently for salad until your lettuce is grown,
and all the while you have had at your COM
mand material, if properly prepared, for the
| finest salad known. I refer to the stalks OF
the dandeloin. You remember how we used
to have to pull up out of the garden the
abominable weed that we called 'pusley
| We have thrown away tons of it, and YET
| the most delicate salad l have eaten il
| New York was made of the same weed 'pus
ley"
The rural brother looked astonished, made
minutes of the information that his epic
urean kinsman had given him, and wen1
home to tell the boys how little they
| know about watermelons, and the HwomeI
folks" how limited their knowledge is o
